Hi! Today I would like to show you a revolutionary product by Hydracol. "Polish to Gel" allows us to turn regular nail polish into gel polish! Sounds like a fairy tale? For a lacqueromaniac - definitely yes :-D

Hydracol "Polish to Gel" comes in 20ml bottles. A bottle contains a pipe, which makes dosing a desired amount of product easier - this is very important for making a successful makeover of nail polish to gel ;-) "Polish to Gel" is available at Hydracol's official website or on ebay.

The product is very easy to use. We have to mix it (very thoroughly!) with regular nail polish in 1:1 proportion (a glass nail art palette can be useful but normal aluminium foil also will do). Now, we have to use the produced mixture as a regular gel polish. Prepare your nail plate, put on a base gel, then two or three coats of our mixture (it depends on coverage) and gel top coat at the end. The mix should be cured for 30 seconds in a LED lamp and 2 minutes in a UV lamp. Regarding mixing and applying it on your nails, I recommend to use a brush from the regular nail polish that we decided to transform into a gel polish ;-)

It's time for nail art :-) I decided to mix "Polish to Gel" with fabolous Emily de Molly nail polish called "The Rapture". This nail polish has jelly consistency, which unfortunately affected the final effect. To get full coverage I had to apply three thick coats of this mixture. Next time I'm going to use one of my ILNP holos - I hope that two layers will be enough :-P

Additionally, I decided to use a decorative sticker from Born Pretty Store on the gorgeous "The Rapture" base. The sticker comes on a 4,8x7,8cm sheet. Unfortunately, this pattern is sold out. But you can find similar stickers in other colors here, here, here, here and here ;-P

What do you think of "Polish to Gel"? For me it's a wonderful invention. I have loads of nail polishes that I love (ILNP, Colors by Llarowe, Colour Alike and so on). Unfortunately, they don't stay on my nails too long due to my work in gloves and contact with unfriendly formulations - maybe three or four days, thats all :-/ But thanks to Hydracol "Polish to Gel" my nail polish preciouses gain a new life :-D
